The Alonso-Schumacher Theory is the theory that if a person, often in a formal or casual competition, has something or someone they truly care about, they are, on average, less likely to take risks even if might really benefit them.
Based on a quote attributed to Formula One driver Fernando Alonso that talked about his fellow competitor Michael Schumacher at the 2005 Japanese Grand Prix ("I knew he'd brake, he has a wife and two kids at home"), the theory is named after them.
